Vision Soft Reset

看好了时间之力是这么用的，臭蜥蜴，我最多陪你玩半分钟。

I really wish i liked this game. The concepts and mechanics are so cool, but actually using them in gameplay kinda sucks because of the finicky controls and poor framerates. It has so much potential, but I just can't recommend it.

The core concept is undoubtedly an awesome structural twist on metroidvanias, but Vision Soft Reset is a little too challenging and messy. The ability to see briefly into the future is helpful for small encounters but it can add more visual noise when a lot is going on. Because the game assumes you can time-travel out of most common damage sources, your actual health is very low. This is usually fine for exploration, but bosses and harder enemy arenas can be pretty punishing, especially when the chaos fails to provide safe moments to reset to. A lot of gameplay boils down to dodging at really precise times and reversing time to try again when you mess it up. Additionally, since attacks are telegraphed by your future vision, the attacks themselves actually come out really fast, so if you’re overwhelmed or don’t catch the foreshadowing there’s very little time to react, which can feel a tad unfair. It’s certainly a unique metroidvania and a gem of a game for many, but after trying a few times and repeatedly getting stuck/bored/frustrated, I can’t get into it.
